If you like to travel a little differently, If you want an authentic experience, and If you like to make a difference in someone’s life while you experience beautiful places in the world, then you have come to the right place. People who travel can make a great impact in the communities and natural locations they visit.
We work for you. We do not have allegiances with any hotel or tour companies. We treat you like we like to be treated, like close friends to whom we are eager to tell the best places to go and what to avoid. Honesty and true support before and during your journey.
We are a mother and daughter team. A great combination of adventurous women who love to travel. We love the outdoors and a variety of ways to experience this amazing and awesome world. And although we travel we are not tourists. We love experiencing the places we go like a local. Eat where the locals eat, experience their festivals and traditions, and make friends even if we only know a few words of each others language.
Boutique Adventures is our business. We like to keep our travels small so we can go into places that most mainstream tourists never get to experience.( However there are also those iconic places that you just can't miss if you are there!) We like to find the hidden treasures to give you that sense of amazed discovery you had as a child, to feel intensely again!
